Half of Gen Z now prioritise exercise over socialising – preferring to share workout selfies than pics with mates
Read below to see what else the poll revealed NO PAIN NO GAIN Half of Gen Z now prioritise exercise over socialising – preferring to share workout selfies than pics with mates Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A POLL of 2,000 adults found 22 per cent of 18-28-year-olds would rather share a post-workout selfie online than a picture of them out with their mates. But 22 per cent feel there aren't enough venues catering to their clean-living aspirations, leaving them frustrated (40 per cent) and lonely (24 per cent). Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 22 per cent of adults said there weren't enough venues for their clean-living aspirations Credit: SWNS And 42 per cent of all adults polled end up feeling guilty going for an after-exercise drink. Despite exercise taking priority, 34 per cent say the gym is their least favourite place to socialise. To help, energy drink maker Reign Storm is launching The Energy Bar on June 24, the first venue of its kind to cater to an audience seeking out 'clean' socialising spaces. With a clean menu, areas for warming up, cooling down and light cardio, and fitness-wear dress code, the trial space could provide an insight into the future of the city's bar scene. Rob Adkins, from the brand, said: 'Pubs and bars are awesome, especially in British summertime, but the experience becomes a lot less enjoyable if you don't want to drink alcohol. 'Our research found that UK adults are struggling to find venues that align with their clean-living aspirations, and we think it's time to change that. 'The Reign Storm Energy Bar is a one-of-a-kind venue that fuses the clean-living priorities of a gym space, with the social benefits of a pub.' The study also revealed the top things adults want from a social venue, with 46 per cent longing for a space quiet enough to talk. While 45 per cent want space to chill, 40 per cent look for good food and drink, and 29 per cent want a cost-effective space. More than one in five (22 per cent) want somewhere that's good for them mentally and physically, 19 per cent want 'clean' food and drink options and 18 per cent just want 'vibes' 'No longer about having a drink' It also emerged that reasons for not socialising at the pub included worries about limited alcohol-free options (20 per cent) and the lack of clean or healthier options in general (16 per cent). A third (34 per cent) said it's too expensive and 21 per cent claimed going to the pub makes them anxious, according to the figures. The spokesperson from Reign Storm added: 'For lots of people, socialising is no longer just about having a drink - it's about sharing experiences. 'People want to be able to socialise in a healthy way, and what's healthier than the gym? 'But there are lots of problems in trying to get your social life up to date in the gym, so a space where you can be clean and chatty is very much needed.' It comes after nearly four in 10 Brits are open to a career move - with half of these actively searching for their "calling." And beer-drinking blokes tend to be more fertile and father more children, a study shows.

Best budget paddling pools under £40 - Our test reveals top picks for summer fun Elsewhere, shoppers are flocking to get their hands on the perfect paddling pool to keep kids cool this summer. At just £8.99, it folds away effortlessly, making storage easy for the colder months. And if you're on a budget, don't worry, you won't have to break the bank with this paddling pool, as it's super purse-friendly. Shoppers have also gone wild for this excellent paddling pool which comes in at just under a tenner. Five ways to keep your kids cool in the heat IT can be really difficult - and costly - to keep kids cool when it's hot outside. But Fabulous Digital Senior Reporter and mum-of-two Sarah Bull shares five ways to help, and they won't break the budget either. Strip them off It might sound simple, but stripping kids off at home can really help them regulate their temperature when it's warm outside. Just remember to regularly apply suncream, as more of their skin will be exposed to the sun. Cool down bedrooms before nighttime When it's hot outside, it can be difficult for kids to go to sleep - especially if their bedroom feels like an oven. If you have a room that's not in direct sunshine, keep the windows open to let in a breeze. It's also a good idea to keep the curtains closed, to prevent the room from heating up. Wear a hat Another simple technique, but one that really works. Make sure that if your kids are playing outside, they've got a hat on. It keeps their face and head shielded from the sun, and also helps if you've got a little one who struggles with bright sunlight. If your tot struggles to keep a hat on, try one with a strap that goes under the chin to help. Avoid the car The car can be one of the hottest places during a heatwave, and often takes a long time to cool down. If you have the option, it's better to stay at home rather than taking kids out anywhere in a hot car. Stay hydrated This is always important, but even more so in a heatwave. Make sure you're regularly reminding your kids to have a drink, and top them up with cool liquids whenever you can. Use ice too to ensure it's as cold as it can possibly be. However, whilst we all love the sun, it can make us feel a little sticky and sweaty especially when trying to sleep at night. And we tested fans to keep you cool in the summer – the winner costs 1p an hour to run. Finally, from buying better bedding to keeping your PJs ON – here all the surprising ways to keep cool at night in a heatwave.
